Young mister he is 23 months was up around 03:30 talking to grandma and pap in bed carrying on a conversation, my wife said Ill get up with you guys. We were waiting on the quiche to get done in oven. It is our thing pap and baby boy like breakfast music so we open up laptop. We have a wide variety of music from the blues to the scorpions.
And at times Ill jam along and this morning pap was In Hendrix mood. So I introduced him to stone free I put on backing tract on lap top. And opened up my Greco Strat I had to give the child the history of the Greco.
Like the tokai Les Paul baby boy pap bought this tone beast in west Germany off a fellow G I. Who needed beer money 1985 or cash for hash I cannot remember , and these two beautiful guitars we have been together in a committed relationship longer than your grandmother and pap.
I said that because my wife of 33 years was having coffee with us at the table I got that raised eyebrow look from my dear wife replied really you had mention hash. I said look I cannot remember maybe he blew the cash in a whorehouse he was a known patronizer of house of the ill repute score for man high paw 5 boog. And she then responded god youre just like your dog forever retarded in youth dam straight boog and man were puppies in our minds.
Kiddo made grandma and I smile with his dance moves as I was picking stone free. The dudes got moves and then I launched into villa nova junction and the funky moves kept coming. He climbed on top of the guitar case just shaking and moving and grandma joined in dancing she looked good in her pajamas.
And I said hey here is one of paps favorites. One rainy wish by Hendrix and mister was smiling hugging grandma and he loves this beautiful song as I do it reminds me when I hear it or play it of velvet cloth . So now breakfast is over young mister and my wife went back to sleep around 06:00 watching the movie hop.
Our sons and their friend bailed to the gym I declined this morning kid has his own vehicle now the boys have Gas ass. Theyre mobile on the move.
Boog the chocolate lab we are on back porch now listening to our neighbors the coyotes on the mountain and the hoot owl.
